Wow, Peppers is amazing!

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) #82 isn't even trying out there. Giants have something that G-reg doesn't tonight...a sack

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 01:31 AM) No one getting open at all and now Cutler is starting to panic even when he has a little time because the OLine has been so bad and really you can't blame him. Like you mentioned before, just have to go with the quick 5 yard passes and hope we break one. No more play-action, etc.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) #82 isn't even trying out there. No one on our offense is. A defensive/Special Teams TD is our best chance of winning.

Goodness, Ozzie needs to get someone up in the bullpen! We're getting no one open down the field.

Defense is playing great tonight!

Offensive line is awful, and Cutler has to get rid of the freaking ball!

#86 might be the worst FA signing in Chicago sports history.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) He just played fine in primetime 6 days ago. But yes he has been awful so far tonight as has been the entire offense really. I thought he was pretty much awful in the 2nd half, and got bailed out by some penalties last week.

Ugh, Cutler in primetime is just a recipe for disaster.

Had three chances for big plays on defense and haven't been able to capitalize. Urlacher went after that tipped ball like he had a cast on his hand. Also, that non holding call on Manningham was poor.

Cutler missed a TD on that pass to Hester.

Reds, as they play with the most enthusiasm of any team in baseball. Votto is an absolute stud with a terrific recovery from personal issues. Gomes is a great clubhouse leader, and it will be exciting to hopefully see Aroldis get to face Utley and Howard.

This article made me realize even more how much I love Paul Konerko. Just please don't sign with the Twins or Cubs so I don't have to root for you to suck! http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...or-konerko.html

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 12:51 AM) What are the odds that Konerko comes back, realistically? 25% would be my guess

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) I'm giving the Gold Glove award ONE LAST f***ING CHANCE! If 'Alexei doesn't win it I'm done. Not a chance he wins it, as his error total climbed too high. I believe he ended with 19.

Supposedly KW went on a rant about Jenks before the game today. If what I've heard he said is actually true, Jenks has played his last game in a Sox jersey.

Does Tyler Flowers ever swing the bat? He's going to shatter Pods strike out looking record if he ever plays half a season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 09:35 PM) Well...if you got the 2008 Quentin, you've done it. If you got the 2nd half of 2006 Teahen...ditto. The thing to note though...if we've got $10-$15 million to play with...the only positions we can't start the offseason thinking "I have a guy I can put there next year" is 2 bullpen spots; Putz and Closer. We could stick Flowers at Catcher and probably get similar production to what AJ gave us this year. Quentin to DH, Viciedo to 1b, Morel to 3b, Teahen to RF at least gives us a lineup. It would take a set of miracles for that lineup to win the Central...but it's a better starting point than I feared a few months back. That offense would be a joke and pretty much the beginning of the end of KW/Ozzie if they put that out on the field.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) Teahen? You may laugh now. Anyway...if PK14 departs and Viciedo takes that role...we're going to both have a lot of money to spend and need some serious help producing runs. If you put Teahen in RF and Quentin at DH, then where will the actual offensive upgrades come from? Not a lot of spots in the lineup still open.

QUOTE (Real @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) I have this weird feeling it'll be in St. Louis Seattle

Further proof Konerko is gone: Viciedo play first base again tonight, and Konerko isn't playing. If the Sox do intend on playing Viciedo at 1b next season, I really hope they move Quentin to DH and then go after a lefty hitter for RF.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 08:37 PM) I'm actually really looking forward to the next roast, because I could see them tearing into Greg Giraldo, and he would have loved that. Agreed, like his Gary Coleman joke from the Hoff roast.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) There is no way Konerko goes to the Twins. They have a $15M all star 1B and already have a DH conundrum in Thome/Kubel. The Twins have like $72M commited to 10 players next year and have Pavano and Hudson hitting free agency. There is no way they can give Konerko $10M a year. Boston I could see if Beltre leaves, the Dodgers too if Loney is traded, I could see the Angels for sure needing a 1B/DH slugger. But all that being said who really wants to commited $20 or $30M guranteed to someone between the ages of 35-38. The Angels just did that with Abreu in the offseason giving him 2 years $18M and this year he hit like .245. I don't think he'll go to the Twins either, unless Morneau has to retire. I wasn't saying he'd go to the Twins, just that Konerko was unhappy with the personnel decisionis/clubhouse this season cause he lost his two closest friends from the previous season.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 1, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) This is actually a pretty good example of PK's leadership. Without calling anyone out, I think PK is saying that he and the players have had enough of the Ozzie/Kenny public fued. They don't want to deal with it, and they probably think that it led to their demise this year. Eg. It's possible that the players see letting Thome go as an ego battle between Ozzie and Kenny, with the losers being the guys on the field. Good post, and it's so disappointing that after everything, Ozzie and KW will return while we're likely to see some attrition due to their actions. I guess there's a reason Ozzie always shows up on lists of managers you'd least like to play for.
